Climate-related geographic shift and sudden population increase of a small pelagic fish (Sardinella aurita) in the eastern Mediterranean Sea
Round sardinella (Sardinella aurita) is a thermophilous small pelagic clupeid fish that is exploited by the purse-seine fishery across the Mediterranean Sea. For many years, its Aegean Sea distribution has been confined to the southern part of the sea because of its preference for warmer waters. Rec...
